Inside the cafe.
The clear sunlight shone in from outside the window, quietly falling on the young fluffy and soft start, showing a brilliant golden brown.
I saw Shi An biting the spoon, pushing the clean glass cup outwards, blinking, and carefully asked:
"Can I have another drink?"
"..."
Looking at the four empty glasses on the table, Wang Li's eyes twitched, but he still beckoned to the waiter not far away: "Chocolate Buffy oversized cup, let's get another one."
He hesitated: "No, let's have two copies."
… I always feel that one serving may not be enough.
Shi An glanced approvingly at the human in front of him.
Not bad, very promising! Very winking!
Finally, when he started to eat the fifth ice cream, Wang Li couldn't help but raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose: "Well, how are you thinking about it?"
He raised his eyes to the teenager sitting opposite, and asked in his most sincere manner: "Are you willing to join?"
Shi An nodded: "Yes."
But before Wang Li could breathe a sigh of relief, he just heard the other party continue to say:
"But I want half."
Wang Li was taken aback: "What?"
Shi An licked the milk froth at the corner of his mouth, raised his clean and innocent eyes, and said with the most harmless expression: "The trophy, I want half."
Wang Li was secretly shocked, his face showed a struggling and hesitant look: "This..."
Shi An used a small spoon to scrape the remaining chocolate at the bottom of the cup and tilted his head:
"There should be a lot of great fire students in this academy? Did you come to me, a freshman, simply because I saved you? I guess there should be something to do with me, but you don’t want to say the reason. right?"
He blinked and said seriously: "Half is running out!"
Willing to give up half of the spoils is already a big concession for him.
—After all, as a dragon, Shi'an still prefers to swallow it alone.
Wang Li looked at Shi'an for a few seconds, and finally gave a wry smile and sighed: "...Well, you guessed it right."
Unexpectedly, this seemingly heartless, no city mansion boy has a beast-like intuition in this respect. He can actually see through his intentions directly and win the most extreme concession for them.
waste
… It was a big mistake.
Keeping a low profile, even deceiving everyone's eyes, such a person is not too much to say that it is a monster.
Wang Li took a deep breath and said, "Yes."
Although fifty percent is indeed too much, as a person who has been trained since childhood in a big family, Wang Li has a keen premonition that ordinary people cannot match.
The person in front of you can't be hostile, it's best to meet each other.
Before the other party has emerged, it doesn't matter if you take this as an opportunity to make good friends, even if you give up some of the benefits.
"but… "
Wang Li paused and continued: "Although I am the captain, I am not the only member of this team. You may have to meet other people."
For other members to agree to such an uneven distribution method, there must be sufficient reasons.
Or strength.
Shi An wiped out the two chocolate parfaits in front of him. He licked the sweet spoon with satisfaction, raised his eyes to Wang Li, and replied gently and skillfully: "Okay, when will they have it? time?"
"Why did the captain call us all of a sudden?" Chen Meng frowned slightly, folded his arms and asked, "And still go to the training ground?"
Zhao She shook his head, saying that he was not quite clear.
Wu Huancheng said roundly: "Now that we can't draw any conclusions from this, let's go in first."
While talking, the three of them walked into the private training ground of Wang's family together.
The dome of the training ground is extremely high, and the spacious venue can fully deploy the strength. All the magic training equipment is top-notch, and it is considered excellent on the entire continent.
In the center of the venue, Wang Li was talking to a teenager with his face sideways.
The young man was sitting on a high platform, his two slender legs dangling leisurely, his hairy head little by little, he was seriously eating the ice cream in his paper cup.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wang Li turned his head and looked over, beckoning to the three of them: "Here!"
After the three came forward, Wang Li introduced to the boy:
"Chen Meng, fourth grade, good at ice."
"Zhao She, third grade, good at strength department."
"Wu Huancheng, third grade, good at the light department."
He turned his head to look at his three members, and said: "Shi'an, good at fire."
Although they had guessed who came, the other three people were still sinking.
They really didn't expect that Wang Li actually invited Shi An over. Although they had never actually met Shi An himself, they had heard a lot of rumors related to this person.
Chen Meng looked up and down at the slender young man in front of him, a trace of contempt flashed in the slightly raised fox's eyes:
"So, you were the one who saved the captain that day?"
Zhao She dragged Chen Meng: "Hello."
Although he stopped Chen Meng from continuing to speak, he had to say that when he saw the true face of the young man in front of him, Zhao She couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
With thin arms and thin legs, he fell down as soon as the wind blows. Was he really the mysterious person who set off a raging fire that day
Isn't something wrong
Shi An thought for a while, then nodded: "Forget it."
After all, the soldiers were not ready to save people.
Chen Meng felt the blue veins on his forehead pick up.
Right
What the hell is this answer
Shi An turned to look at Wang Li: "So, if I want half of the spoils, I have to fight them?"
The three people in front of him were shocked at the same time.
Half of the spoils? ! !
They looked at Wang Li in disbelief: "Captain, are you serious?"
A wry smile appeared on Wang Li's face.
He originally wanted to introduce Shi'an to him first, then let him show his strength, and finally put forward the matter of dividing the benefits, but he didn't expect Shi'an to be so straightforward and straight to the subject.
Wang Li bit his head: "No, not exactly like this..."
Shi An breathed a sigh of relief: "It's great, I don't want to do it with them."
Wang Li was taken aback: "?"
Shi An jumped down from the high platform, held up that well-behaved face, and said in a soft voice: "If you can't control it, it won't be good to hurt them."
Three people: "...… …"
At this time, everyone's faces became gloomy, and they stared fiercely at the young man who was speaking wildly without knowing it, and the atmosphere immediately dropped to a freezing point.
Chen Meng sneered: "Is that so? Then we two will try it. Don't worry, don't keep your hands."
She almost said the last words through gritted teeth.
Looking at the raging scene in front of him, Wang Li felt his head hurt even more.
Obviously, I just wanted them to see each other. How could things develop into the way they are now
In order to prevent things from developing further out of control, Wang Li hurriedly stood up: "Our primary objective now is not a competition. Have you forgotten it? It's the last week before the mountain is closed. If you want to enter the abyss ruins, this is We have our last chance, time is running out, and we must prepare for the completion of the next task..."
At this moment, Wu Huancheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Captain, I don't think it's appropriate."
He looked at Shi An, who was standing not far away, and slightly narrowed his eyes:
"Time is really tight now, and we all understand the importance of the fire system for this mission. The 50% division is not completely unacceptable. However, our new teammates must prove that they have the corresponding strength, right? ?"
Although the other two did not speak, the expressions on their faces clearly expressed their attitudes.
Chen Meng's face was ironic: "I'm here, I want to see—"
Before she finished her words, Wang Li interrupted: "No, I don't agree with you."
Chen Meng looked at Wang Li in shock, and said, "Captain!"
Wang Li shook his head firmly.
It is only a few days before the closure of the mountain. If any one person is accidentally injured at this point, it will be a great loss to their entire team.
More importantly, as the captain, Wang Li must ensure the harmony of the atmosphere in the team-only in this way can he firmly trust his back after entering the extreme environment, and now no matter what the result is, whoever wins is bound to win Plant the seeds of discord.
However, looking at the current situation, it won't work if you don't prove your strength.
Wang Li pondered for a while, raised his eyes and scanned the training ground in front of him, and said, "Let's do it, I have a solution."
He came to the control room and tapped a few times on the screen.
Immediately afterwards, two metal bins that could only accommodate one person rose from below.
This is a virtual device that allows two people to perform a direct magic showdown. Although it cannot fully simulate a real battle, it can intuitively make the participants feel the difference in each other's strength.
"Which one of you will come?" Wang Li asked.
Chen Meng was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhao She: "Let me come."
After all, actual combat requires strategy and contingency, but the decisive factor in fighting in this way is magic.
Although Chen Meng didn't lose to anyone in actual combat, but in the head-to-head direct duel, Zhao She of the power department was slightly better.
She endured it, and finally agreed reluctantly.
Shi'an didn't care much about it.
He nodded: "Sure."
The two walked into different magic warehouses, and the metal doors slowly closed to form a closed space.
The devil took the opportunity to crawl out of Shi'an's sleeve and said, "My lord, you have to be careful, don't show too much strength, keep your hand, otherwise..."
Shi An nodded perfunctorily and said, "I know, I know."
He pressed the head of the demon worm back and curled his lips: "This is not the first time I pretend to be a human being. I don't need you to remind me again and again!"
It's been so long, how could he not know the importance of restraining strength
Shi An raised his hand and stretched it toward the metal ball in front of him.
But before he could touch its surface, Shi An's expression suddenly changed, and his pupils shrank slightly.
Etc., etc! This! This feeling!
what happened…
Shi An didn't stabilize himself, he staggered, and he lay down on his stomach.
The next second, outside the metal warehouse.
"Victory... is divided."
The others were all startled and looked at Wang Li together.
Chen Meng was stunned: "No, how can the winner be determined in such a short time? Is your instrument broken?"
Wang Li stared at the screen in front of him blankly, without speaking for a long time.
"So, who won?" Chen Meng asked anxiously.
Wang Li has been silent for a long time, and said: "Shi'an."
"Bah!" Chen Meng sneered, "I don't believe it. I only went in for three seconds. How could it be..."
In the next second, only a loud bang was heard, and the whole training room felt tremor.
The two metal bins in front of him trembled at the same time, a trace of broken lines spread from the joint below, sparks burst and splashed, and something seemed to be broken.
The three people outside the metal warehouse were all taken aback.
Chen Meng ran in the direction of the metal warehouse in a panic, and said as he ran:
"Why is this? Is there something wrong with your instrument!"
"This is not the time to talk about this!" Wang Li pressed his lips tightly and shook his head: "Quickly, save them first!"
He didn't know what was wrong with the instrument, first announced Shi'an's victory in just three seconds, and then immediately short-circuited, and even a small-scale overload and explosion occurred inside the circuit.
It was okay before, why did it suddenly fail
The three hurried over and worked together to forcibly open the door of the metal warehouse from the outside.
Hearing a loud noise, the two thick metal doors turned into twisted iron blocks and were thrown out forcefully.
In the metal warehouse on the left, Zhao She stood upright, with his hands on the metal plate in front of him, his head hanging down, his expression was not clear.
In the metal bin on the right, Shi An was lying on the ground, his whole person trembling like leaves in the wind.
Chen Meng breathed a sigh of relief seeing that both of them were all right.
As she walked in the direction of Zhao She, she wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "Look, there is something wrong with your instrument. How could it be that Zhao She lost—"
At this moment, Wu Huancheng's hand fell on Zhao She's shoulder.
With just a light touch, the opponent's whole body fell softly down like a landslide. At this time, everyone could clearly see Zhao She's pale face and bloody lips.
Zhao She coughed and gasped twice, his fingers trembling involuntarily.
He gave a wry smile and said in a hoarse voice:
"Yes... I lost."
Just now in the metal warehouse, Zhao She felt for the first time straightforwardly what is meant by an overwhelming difference in power.
Depressed by that kind of overwhelming magic power, just facing it for a few seconds, it made him feel like he was crushed in pain, and his soul shuddered under the terrible threat, screaming away in horror.
It's almost like... Human beings are opposed to nature itself.
In the face of such a doomsday, landslides, tsunamis, earthquakes and hurricanes, he lost the will to escape and could only tremble and wait for death to come.
Although only three seconds, it seems that three long centuries have passed.
What kind of monster is this...
Zhao She was even surprised that he was still alive. He coughed twice and closed his eyes tiredly.
—He was convinced of the loss.
Zhao Meng was dumbfounded.
She can't figure it out, what's the situation...
The other side.
Wang Li rushed forward and cautiously lifted up the curled up boy.
He held the other's slender shoulders, his heart was slightly startled, Shi An's body was so cold, there was almost no temperature, and the fragile shoulder bone shuddered slightly under his palm, as if he would be broken in the next second.
Shi An was still shivering.
Cold sweat spread all over her pale forehead, her beautiful eyes drooped slightly, a little teardrop was contained in her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled, as if she was suffering indescribable pain.
"What's going on? Is it uncomfortable?" Wang Li's heart raised his throat. He looked at the boy in front of him with extreme worry, and asked in a low voice with concern.
Shi An took a breath and slowly raised his head.
I saw him clutching his abdomen with one hand, and said with difficulty, every word:
"Belly, my stomach hurts."
Wang Li: "..."
Ah
In the sequelae of the overload of this device, there should be no option for stomach pain.
You may have a splitting headache, or you may be dizzy, you may even have a surge of Qi and blood, and your blood vessels may rupture. Why do you have a stomachache
Suddenly, a strange hunch appeared in Wang Li's mind.
He took a deep breath and asked slowly:
"By the way, that, chocolate Buffy is a huge serving, how many cups have you eaten?"
Shi An blinked weakly and whispered:
"Eight, eight cups."
I ate six cups in the coffee shop and brought two more to go.
Wang Li: "...……… …"
What the hell, you dare to catch a cold after eating ice cream too much! ! ! !
The author has something to say: This matter reminds us that we must not eat eight cups of chocolate parfait at a time.
